Is chiropractic pregnancy care safe?
One of the main questions any mom-to-be may ask about chiropractic treatment while pregnant is whether it's safe. The answer is, "Yes!" It's perfectly safe to see a chiropractor while you're expecting. However, it is important to pick a practice that specializes in this type of care. Our team at Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation is specially trained to help pregnant women, so you can rest assured you and your little one will be safe. We offer a specialized table to accommodate your growing belly and use a variety of techniques that are designed for prenatal care. One of these is the Webster Technique, which is used by certified chiropractors to help balance and align your pelvis to prepare for delivery. This technique has been associated with smoother deliveries and fewer birth complications.
Benefits of chiropractic prenatal care
In addition to helping align your pelvis for delivery, there are many other advantages to prenatal chiropractic care. It can ease many discomforts often associated with pregnancy including back pain, nerve pressure, and muscle spasms. You may also want to consider getting a prenatal massage while you are expecting. Prenatal massages offer a variety of health benefits including reduced stress, improved sleep, eased lower extremity pain, and fewer newborn health issues.
